Has this ever happened to you? - IDN Forums

I received an email from Sedo stating:

Congratulations! There is a new offer waiting for you on the domain name (domain name)

I looked at the domain name and realized that it was not parked at Sedo.

It was not a spam or phishing email. How did someone make an offer via Sedo if it was not parked there? I had parked it there many moons ago for a few days, but it has been parked at ND for nearly a year.

I moved it over to Sedo until I complete (or don't complete) negotiations.

Help?

Never happened but if the offer is good enough, why not?

. Goodluck! IDNs have heated up. I've seen a lot of stuff going on behind the curtains...

This begs the question:

How is it possible to make on offer on a domain via Sedo if the domain is parked at ND?

Why wouldn't the offer be made through ND or just emailed to me? Don't you think that is very strange?

I think Sedo still list you in their DB.

Maybe the domain was still listed at Sedo? Do a search. Was it a latin-based domain? Like the ones supported by Sedo? It is strange that the offer isn't through e-mail or from ND...

In your Sedo account is there a valid offer?

Yes, it was a valid offer. It was still in the DB.

It seems strange/fishy that the offer was made via a specific search at Sedo rather than from the parking page or WHOIS.

It was a lowball offer for diseñoweb.biz

Hi burnsinternet,

This is the domain brokerage option.
See for example, here, if I wanted to buy Idnf.com: http://sedo.de/broker/index.php4?dom...om&language=us

So if you check for a domain not listed in their db, they give you the possibility to use their service of brokerage.

See U

The flipper are doing something similar here, listing on forums for sale, and then dropping it if it doesn't sell. If you consider the payment to dynadot a 5 days refundable deposit, it might well be short selling as well.
